Bug fixes

Our 8.2 release fixes the following bugs on the 64-bit architecture:

-The omission of a library that prevented GIMP from opening.

-The KTorrent app and the Xterm and UXTerm terminal emulators were missing.

-It was impossible to open Avogadro, Pencil2D, and Kdenlive projects from the file manager.

-Kdenlive failed to start on computers with a not-so-new CPU. To fix this issue, we stopped using an AppImage that relied on advanced CPU instructions unavailable in some machines. As a minor drawback of not using an AppImage, the integration with the Glaxnimate animation app is not available anymore. Nevertheless, you may export a Glaxnimate animation as webm and import it into Kdenlive.

-Ktuberling failed to start, and GCompris crashed unexpectedly on some computers.

Fixed bugs on the 32-bit architecture:

-GIMP did not include the GREYC's Magic for Image Computing (G’MIC) plugin, so hundreds of effects were not readily available.

Escuelas Linux Developer Pack 8.2

Last but not least, we updated the following components of our optional pack with leading IDEs to develop with C, C++, Java and PHP, all configured and ready to use:

-Android Studio Flamingo 2022.2.1

-Eclipse IDE 2023-03
